Chapter 158 - A Lonely Person (2/2)

Rhys startled, his facial expression immediately changed. ” Oi hold on are you crazy? You can't ---” he paused once the girl stares into his eyes, ”Damn.”

Allen didn't know what to think about the current situation at all. His fiance has always been a careless person. He knew this from the very beginning, didn't he?

He really was speechless; he didn't think that she would still insist on fighting despite her current state. Allen cursed in his head; he should have stopped her. Didn't he see how bad her injuries are? What on earth is he doing just standing by and watching like this?

”Please listen to the man. You're in no condition to fight.”

Lyn flashed a smile at him, ”We elites are the very opposite of free. Allen you're the one who said that. Indeed, even now that's still the case here. I'm not free, they have caged me to this bloodshot destiny from the beginning. That's why I do not mind it.”

”That is foolish. You're risking your life.”

”Yes. This is my seriousness”.

Her seriousness? Allen was cut off when Shaarya stood in front of him. ”I see now. That's what you meant. Please...don't overdo it. Even if I say that those words are futile, I will stay here so finish the fight.”

In that split second the brown hair girl's aura changes, a smirk appears on her face. Shioka sweatdropped, ”If she gets injured to that extent...”.

”Beth, stay with me,” Rhys suddenly said.

Allen looked at the group of people around him who had suddenly changed their attitudes. What are they doing? Are they actually going to allow Lyn to act this reckless? Allen stared at them, how ridiculous.

”It's time to get serious.”

Allen blinked once he heard those words, she wasn't seriously fighting from the beginning? Though he heard about it at the party. Allen was the type who wouldn't believe things unless he saw it with his own eyes. He was skeptical, and yet a part of him believed it.

No, that's not what's important here. His gaze lands on his fiance with wounds that seem to open up the more she fought. Is she serious? He had heard from that person that his fiance is strong but that didn't mean... It shouldn't be a justification for her to be allowed to do something this reckless.

She...she saved him.

Once again, she saved him.

Allen caused his eyes; that time, it was her for sure. Allen can confirm it now seeing her fight. Its the same as that time. In that split second where she stood in front of him just now he had seen it — the same expression as the one back then.

Now he understood it, understood why his brother was always cautious about the Lyn. Its because brother knew all along who saved him.

Perhaps, perhaps Allen knew too. Perhaps a part of him too already knew. Otherwise, he may not have been able to accept it. But that meant this entire time she's....been trying to reach out to him...

Allen didn't notice it at all. How could he have failed to notice the signs? This entire time she was so close to him, and he didn't realize at all.

Earlier

From what Allen could determine, Lyn is certainly some sort of fighter. But as for the extent of the girl's strength, he had yet to see. After he walked down for a few moments, his thoughts broke off when he saw a group of people land right in front of him.

Allen placed his hand on his blade, preparing himself for another attacker. But he didn't have to do that since the people that landed before him were already wounded badly.

The Prince glanced at the direction they came from only to spot his bodyguard Carlo, with two members from the Sound Kingdom.

Carlo rushed over. ” Prince. I am glad you aren't harmed.” That's odd; he isn't commenting on his disappearance?

Allen The Princess is over there?” he questioned the group.

”Yes, but…perhaps you shouldn't…”

But Allen was already heading in the direction the bun hair girl pointed at. Indeed, he found his fiance there, her long black hair and those violet orbs. There's no mistake it was her.

However, the surrounding aura differed completely from that of the usual. It wasn't like Lyn was covered in blood or anything like a gruesome sight. No, it was the girl's presence that seemed to be overwhelming him.

Present

When he saw that back, that lonely back, Allen wanted nothing more than to hold her tightly in his arms, and never let her go again. But even that was taken away from him.
